Enjoy this 2h30-street food tasting tour into one of the most enchanting and magic cities of the Southern Italy. Walk into the old town and taste the best local street food. Be impressed by the taste of the "rustico", soft puff pastry disc filled with mozzarella, tomato and bechamel, the flavour of local cheese, the crunchy tarallini, the "pasticciotto" freshly baked: a short pastry stuffed with custard and even more!
See the jewels of Baroque architecture like Basilica of Santa Croce and Piazza Sant'Oronzo with the "Sedile", the old city Hall. Let yourself be attracted by the soft atmosphere in Piazza Duomo.
This tour is the perfect formula to join a visit to the city to tasting of local specialties!

We had a great experience with our guide. We learned about the history and architecture of Lecce while tasting traditional snacks along the way. I would highly recommend the tour for a first time visitor to Lecce.

The tour guide Antonella is very knowledgeable and made our experience very interesting. We had a small group of 8 people and Antonella connected with each one . The food was delicious. We highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Excellent informative tour and food tasting in Lecce with Antonella! She provided lots of detail about the city's history, architecture and culture and was knowledgeable about other subject matters when we asked questions. The food sampled comprised 3 savoury tasters and 2 sweet, with generous portions at each stop which gave us a great selection of local cuisine. Thank you Antonella for making our last night in Puglia so special!

Wow! What an experience ! This tour was incredible. Not only we ate SO MUCH, but we learned incredible information about the city. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and patient , specially since we had our little baby with us. We learned not only about history, but food history. Thanks a lot for everything.
